New Online Postgraduate Course Offered Semester 2, 2016

The Specialist Certificate in the Management of Neuro-Ophthalmic Disorders is a newly developed online, postgraduate course, offered in semester 2. The course enables optometrists to extend their abilities to assess and manage patients with neurological disorders.

The co-ordinator of the certificate, Dr Kwang Cham, said it was designed to enable optometrists to extend their abilities to evaluate the sensory and motor pathways of the visual system, both in evaluating visual complaints themselves and gaining further knowledge of how visual and ocular motor signs may reflect a range of systemic conditions, particularly of the central nervous system.
